Day of Caring and Sharing to be Celebrated
The United
Way of Garrett County is planning the Sixth Annual
Garrett County Day of Caring and Sharing.
Volunteers from around the county will meet at 8:00 AM
on Friday, October 2, 2009 at the Oakland Firehall.
The event will begin with a continental breakfast.
Robin Murray,
SVP and Director of Retail for First United Bank &
Trust, is chairing the event. This event has a
two-fold purpose: to celebrate our volunteer spirit and
to assist United Way affiliate agencies by completing
projects that require volunteer labor. Ms. Murray
stated, “Several of our community oriented businesses
open their hearts and lend their muscles for just 4
hours that day assisting our non-profit organizations.
I invite you to join First United’s team and commitment
to our community on October 2nd. We care
about making our community safer, stronger and a much
better place to live. We know you do as well. Please
join us!”
There is no
registration fee for the event. All volunteers will
receive a commemorative T-shirt, light breakfast and a
Pizza lunch.
The United
Way of Garrett County has worked hard to make the Day of
Caring and Sharing an annual event that brings
recognition and service to local charitable, non-profit
agencies and organizations. Businesses and
employees are encouraged to participate in the event and
